August 10, 2020 Volume 20, Issue 7 Weekly Newsletter How COVID19 Is Affecting Us We are extremely happy to be open. We thank our guests and members for doing their part in following all the new guidelines set forth by the state of California and San Diego County. But by no means are we through these unusual times. The only amenity not available currently is our gym, all other facilities are open, some with re- strictions. Due to the nature of the virus most of our activities have been postponed or canceled. We are still planning to have all future activities and events until such time it is determined un- safe to do so, as we get closer to the dates of the events. The next big event is Labor Day week- end. As we have determined that it will not be safe enough for our regularly scheduled activities, Inside this issue you will still be able to enjoy the pools, relaxing or hiking. At this time, we are still planning our Halloween party on October 31st and New Year’s Eve party on December 31st.

Self-confessed prude Catherine Hufton investigates There’s no beating around the bush (no pun intended) but I’m a self-diagnosed prude. I always have been, always will be. On my first girl’s holiday to Newquay as a teen, my very confident friends decided to skinny dip in the sea after several bottles of Lambrini. I stood on the sand with my arms crossed feeling completely at odds. 'What the hell is wrong with you – get in!' they screamed as their boobs bobbed up and down in the dirt-grey water. 'I’ll just stay here and watch the bags,' I yelled back. 'It’s way too cold for me!'. 15 years later and I remain the prude of the group, the one they've never seen naked. Ever. As a grown woman, I’d like to say that I’m not quite as frigid as I used to be, but the thought of many everyday beauty treatments still brings me out in a cold sweat. I've never had a spray tan, and still have nightmares about a Brazilian wax I got a few years ago. A massage is about the best I can do. Am I alone? Turns out I’m not. I spoke to a few fellow prudes about their own experi- ences of baring all, while turning to the beauty experts for tips on losing one’s inhibitions. 'During a hammam, your kessala (therapist) will steam, exfoliate, massage, and wash your body while you are naked,' explains Stella Biroova, a kessala at Harrods’ Urban Retreat Moroccan Spa. 'Both the skin and body are deeply cleansed of toxins: dead cells are exfoliated from the skin, while hot steam promotes sweating which opens the pores and release toxins.

Fans have been swift to comment about the unedited film which not only contains nudity but the use of the F-bomb and was rated PG-13 on its release. Twitter user Empire A.L.C commented that it could be the first on the streaming service to have an F-bomb. “X-men Days of Future Past is on Disney+ now but it’s actually left uncensored. This ass scene is left alone and it’s the first movie on Disney+ to have an F-bomb.” As previously reported, Daryl Hannah’s bottom had received the CGI treatment in the 1984 hit, “Splash” when the film hit the streaming platform earlier this year. In the film, Hannah plays a mermaid, Madison who meets and falls in love with Tom Hanks’ char- acter after she saves him from drowning. Certain scenes were edited for Hannah’s nudity and CGI is used to “make her hair appear long- er.” First, in a scene where Madison visits the Statue of Liberty and later when she dives into the ocean after kissing Tom Hanks’ character. Justin D demanded equality over the censorship discrepancies writing, “Well this is a wee bit sexist.. A few months ago Disney+ Caught heat for blurring out Daryl Hannah‘s butt in Splash. But today Days Of Future Past appeared on the service. Hugh Jackman butt intact!
